Were your instincts about the sex right?

I'm currently 37+6 and throughout my pregnancy have had so many people demanding of me that I 'must know' or 'must have an instinct' about the sex of our baby, and felt I must be missing some kind of maternal instinct as had absolutely no idea!

However, just over the last week all I can seem to think about is girl - I'm dreaming of having a girl, looking at girl clothes and subconsciously even referring to my bump as 'her' or 'she'.

Do you think this means anything at all?

Did you have such a feeling with your bumps and were you proved right/wrong?

I genuinely don't mind either way so makes no difference, I just wonder if this is the 'feeling' that everyone talks about

I really hoped that I was having a boy, but I did have a vivid dream of having a baby girl and me asking DH why he'd dressed her in a dark blue babygrow! I had a boy :-) I thought I'd have a feeling, but I really didn't know!

No wrong both times with my girls! Hoping for a boy this time as I have my two lovely little girls! But am not going to try and think this way or that. This is my third pregnancy and not any different so far to the others (no sickness or symptoms as such except tiredness)There is no way of knowing apart from the scan and you can subconsciously be quite disappointed if you have set it on your heart you are having one over the other sex when you find out differently, so try to keep open about it.

I knew both times. When dd1 was born i just turned and shouted to dh i TOLD you it was a girl!! Then with dd2 everyone kept saying oooh i bet its a boy this time a baby john (family name that i would have refused anyway) but i kept saying you'll all be disappointed as im sure its another girl. And she was.

I thought boy, everyone else said girl. My mum who is a retired mw checked the heart beat about 6 months and said she thought girl, then when I was in labour she knew I was having a boy but didn't tell me as we didn't know, but told my dad.I had a beautiful boy

When I was pregnant with my son I started to think he was a boy after about 20 weeks. By the time he was born I was absolutely convinced that he was a boy and couldn't imagine him not being. I am now 38+1 with DC2. I started to think it was probably a girl at around the same time again - around 20ish weeks. I kind of wanted a girl, really fancied having one of each so as I became more and more convinced that this one is a girl I started to panic. I just couldn't shake the feeling and was worried that if I was wrong I would be a bit disappointed when the baby was born as I couldn't bear the idea of that. We never planned to find out the sex but we had to have a foetal medicine scan at 28 weeks due to a complication so we asked the sex. And I was right! We're having a girl. I'm two for two!
